Hey everyone!

Check out @Jake Rickman Commercial Awareness Discussion forum where Interest Rates and the Banking Industry are being discussed. 5 TCLA Premium 1-month memberships are up for grabs for the first 5 excellent contributions to the discussion!

At 6.30pm on 12 July, Jake and I are also going to be holding the inaugural Commercial Awareness Office Hours where we discuss this news story in depth from the perspective of law firms and their clients, as well as time to answer any burning questions about recent news stories. Sign up here - all are welcome to join in!

The discussion thread and the office hours are excellent ways to practice your commercial awareness and learn how to talk fluently in interview about new and niche topics!
